Think about this chuckle-fans - Peter Kay managed to sell out 65 arena dates in 12 hours. That is pretty good going for the Bolton thunderbolt, though you cannot doubt his ability to make a lot of people laugh.

And if you live in Ireland, then you too will have the chance to bust your midriff in Peter's jovial company and be a part of the 'Tour That Doesn't Tour Tour - On Tour'..

He is set to play three dates in Dublin at the O2 on April 29th, 30th and May 1st 2011. Yes, you read right - 18 months time, roughly speaking. Don't think for one minute that these tickets are going to hang about - they won't. [Stay alert on Monday morning, as he may just be adding more dates, as he did on the main tour - watch this space! - Ed]

Tickets will go on pre-sale at 9am on Monday 7th December - that's for fan club members only. The public sale starts at 11am. Best join up at Kay's website then! Ticket prices are €44.20 regardless of seating location.

All I can say is 'good luck' tomorrow - but it will be worth it, I promise you.

New Date Added!

Another date has been added, bringing the Dublin tally (so far) up to four O2 Arena dates, now from (newly-added) Thursday 28th April until Sunday 1st May.

The Friday, Saturday and Sunday events are now sold-out, so just Thursday (28th) remaining. Wonder whether they'll keep it consistent and add a fifth date as per the UK Arena dates?
